For those of you relatively new to time-nuts, the main page for
that cesium clock general relativity time-dilation experiment is:

Highly recommended!
Currently I am reading a biography of Einstein which I got on my
birthday. That man had many types of struggles at all kinds of levels.
The general relativity was one of them. Infact, his trusted friend
Grossman put him on the right track years before (the Zurich notebook),
but Einsteins preconception of how the result should be made him abandon
that trail for a number of years. It's a lovely mess of Riemann and
Ricci tensors. Digging around I learned that there is (quite) a few
pieces of math I need to learn in order to really follow the calculations.
Cheers,
Magnus
